Introduction. Th17, γδT, NK, and NKT cells in peripheral blood and serum IL‐17 and IL‐23 in
Takayasu arteritis (TA) were measured and correlated with disease activity. Methods. Th17 …

Purpose We evaluated T helper lymphocyte profile, including novel Th17 subsets Th17. 1
(secrete IFN-γ, associate with corticosteroid resistance) and PD1+ Th17 (secrete TGF-β1 …

Objective Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a large‐vessel vasculitis that induces damage to the
aorta and its branches. Glucocorticoids remain the gold standard of therapy for TAK. The …

Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) is a type of large vessel vasculitis which involves the aorta and its
major branches. Interleukin (IL)-9 or IL-9-producing Th9 cells were found to be involved in …

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease regulated by T lymphocyte
subsets. Th17 cells reportedly play important roles in the development of inflammatory and …

Background Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a type of primary large vessel vasculitis. Th1, Th17,
and Tfh cells have been reported to be associated with TA relapse. However, the …

Objective. To investigate T cell subsets and immune cytokine profiles in untreated Takayasu
arteritis (TAK) patients and the underlying immunopathological mechanism. Methods. We …

Objective. To evaluate serum cytokines as biomarkers of smoldering disease activity in
patients with Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) in remission. Methods. Thirty-four TAK patients with …

Objective. Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease characterized by a series of
inflammatory responses in the large and medium arteries. Th17 cells, a distinct T cell …

There is a growing need for disease related biomarkers in Takayasu arteritis (TA). The
assessment of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in TA may provide a better …
